Nice clean fast lift off pad. Begad! Rocket flew straight and true t' about 450 feet or so. Well, blow me down! Parachute was just shortly after apogee. Wind caused this rocket t' drift quite a ways from launch pad but recovery be soft with no damage t' rocket. Next time out will swap out plastic chute for nylon one because even with a large 4" spill hole t' lightness o' this rocket allows it t' drift. Begad! Also had a little scorchin' o' t' plastic chute due t' Estes D12-5 "Shotgun" ejection charge.
